If so, you can now open that book from any laptop or PC that you put it in that has Office installed.



Even if you don't have office installed and one day you're in a position where you'd need to pay for a subscription version of Word in the future, you can always easily open it up in Google Docs for free with a gmail account. It would take a little bit for you to get used to the differences there, but at least for now there are free alternatives if this ever becomes an issue.



As for the photos, I would first "Create New Folder" on the USB stick and name it something like "Images" or "Photos" before you copied all of your photos to the drive, just to make certain you're not dumping everything just on the highest folder in the tree. If you had a ton of photos you were moving and you just move them to the highest level of the drive which is where I assume your book now is, you're going to kind of bury your book under the pictures.

It would still be there alphabetically (or any other way you sorted your files), but you'd probably have to dig for it any time you wanted to pull it up, or at least use the search function to narrow down the results. That could get annoying for you after a while. (And though it's not really hard to fix, I think it would be fairly complex to explain how to do it online to you, and with a clean drive with just your book on it we don't need to muck it up, right?)


You can even do things like have a folder called "Book", and then have a sub-folder called "Notes" if you added things or came across things that are giving you inspiration to write something further at one point that you didn't want to lose. With these nested sub-folders, you can really do a good job of keeping your Book stuff separate from your Images.

And like I said before, if you ever got into downloading some music that you aren't able to find in physical media, you have TONS of room on that stick for hundreds if not over 1,000 songs too, so you can also make a "Music" folder to save any music files to as well. It's a very, very useful little piece of tech for the relatively low price.
